What to look forward to



Recommended Posts

I am due to have GS at Beaumont Troy in October. I am trying to make a list to keep me motivated of what to look forward to during and after weight loss such as being able to cross my legs. Any ideas?

Being able to shave the backside of my leg.

Having my husband ask if the article of clothing is mine or my daughters.

Not having to eat before going to a function for the fear of being looked at for eating too much.

Being able to participate in activities instead of just watching

Having a lap

I could go on :)

Crossing your legs

Cheekbones

Shopping anywhere

Not worrying if you will fit (booths, rides, etc)

Not getting winded after climbing a flight of stairs...I could go on and on!

So many......you'll stumble from one to the other and wonder how you never thought of "that" one before....

Reduced pain

Ability to do whatever you want

Smiling all the time

Sit in any booth, chair, stool, bar, etc, etc, etc

Airline flights w/o fear of having room or having to use a damn seat belt extender

Walking into the gym and feeling like you belong there

Ability to go to any restaurant and order from any menu......yet have the knowledge to know how to order a healthy meal

Last but certainly not least.......sex damnit sex. Enjoy thyself like never before.....or at least like a teenager.

Oh there's so many! I'd second all of these! Mostly, as a woman, crossing my legs, fitting in a stadium seat (or any seat) better, not getting so winded so easily, and....sex!

Oh and the boot thing. My husband bought me these awesome Michael Kors boots for Christmas last year. Not wide enough. But I never returned them. I'm hoping I can wear them this Christmas.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
